German old school rockers THE NEW BLACK have issued the following update:

"Dear Blackies and Blackettes!

Just a quick hello to tell you what's going on in TNB world:

We're currently working on a clip for 'More Than A Man', a litte tune about temptation and that funny feeling you get when... well, you know what we mean. And we like what we're seeing so far...

Given the subject matter, the video has to have some serious hotness in it. And it will. The band needs to be in there, too, at some point. Even in the same scenes as the hotness. So someone had to do it, and Fludid, er, stood up for the team and did (but then again, he's directing as well, so he is running the show anyway.) And remember: 'You can only wake up guilty, if you ever fall asleep...'

Oh, and that nice lady? That's Lucky Charm from RockstarSessions, and she rules. We have no release date yet, but we will let you know as soon as we, er, calmed do... know.

What else is new?

The album has been out in the US for two weeks now and has hit radio. Which is cool. Please request it! Here's a review we definitely have to share with you from Pitriff. Woah! But he's right!!!

We're confirmed for a bunch of festivals in Germany this year, among them the cool Serengeti with the mighty ANTHRAX and DOWN (June 27th). New confirmations are Rock im Wald on August 15th, Sundown on October 23rd. For a full list of dates, see below!

There's also a new shirt: The Godmachine. It was designed by an UK designer called, wait for it, Godmachine, and we love it. Available in the TNB store NOW. If you want it, send a message to store@thenewblackofficial.de.

That's all for now. Festival season starts next week, and we can't wait! BLACK 'EM ALL!"
